It's just laughable how this article tries to pull a gender issue out of thin air.

Her base salary at Yahoo may have been $1m, but during her first six months at Yahoo she got a total of $36,6m. She has $69 million worth of unexercised stock options plus $97 million of Yahoo stock she already owns, after less than five years, during which she run the company into the ground.

McInerney gets a base salary of $2m plus a bonus of up to $2m, and he "will also be eligible for grants of long-term incentive rewards of up to $24 million". All of this is connected to his performance, and I guess the requirements will be much stronger than the ones set for Mayer.

That might be an exaggeration, but yeah. It's hard to fathom that someone could sock away enough wealth to last generations for accomplishing so little (from an investor's perspective).

Fake news and manufactured outrage. It's all about those clicks and eyeballs.
